(Natural News) A German researcher did not believe it was possible to justify the environmental protection of planets outside our solar system on the grounds of potential use by humankind in the future. He also believed it was irrelevant to regulate the environments of exoplanets that can support life if the same worlds happened to be lifeless in […]

(Natural News) Decades ago, Australian farmers stopped using glyphosate and other herbicides to get rid of superweeds and seeds in their plots. Instead, they used natural methods of weed control and management that worked much better than toxic chemicals. Farms in Western Australia raise wheat and barley as the main food crops. The biggest threat comes from ryegrass superweeds that […]

(Natural News) There’s a worldwide health emergency currently in progress, and it has absolutely nothing to do with global warming, climate change, measles, or “anti-vaxxers.” It’s actually an emergency stemming from the existence of Big Pharma, whose prolific and persistent antibiotic drugs are now being detected at dangerously high levels in rivers, streams, and lakes […]

(Natural News) Light is generally considered to be a good thing, and with good reason: Life could not exist without it. Almost all energy used by the multitude of life forms is derived from the sun. Light is necessary for photosynthesis in plants and algae, and without it, the entire planet would be cold, dark […]

(Natural News) Over 50 groups are clamoring for Iowa lawmakers to mark as urgent the passing of a landmark legislation to enact a moratorium on factory farm expansion in a state that is home to more than 10,000 farm factories. Krissy Kasserman, the national factory farm campaigner at Food & Water Watch, is of the opinion that factory […]

(Natural News) As if fracking wasn’t causing enough environmental problems, Pennsylvania-based researchers claims that oil companies could extract more oil from unconventional reservoirs. Their recently published study shows that the companies need to reconsider the physics found in those deep wells. As of 2017, the United States gets more than 50 percent of its current oil production from unconventional formations […]

(Natural News) Grilling season is here, but you might want to think twice before skewering up some shrimp this summer — those tasty crustaceans may be toxic. Scientists studying rivers in the United Kingdom say every single sample of shrimp they examined tested positive for cocaine and lidocaine. Other drugs, such as ketamine and opioids, […]

(Natural News) In its May 2019 issue, The Atlantic magazine published a powerful exposé about how pharmaceutical drugs are polluting our water supplies and destroying our environment – which is exactly what Natural News tried to warn the world about 15 years ago. The well-written piece by Rebecca Giggs explains how the circle of life, […]

(Natural News) The IFO Institute in Germany just released a new report on the ecological impact of electric cars. Electric cars are often advertised as “green” technology, great for the environment and the best solution to preserve the Earth’s ozone layer. The member countries of the European Union (EU) promote electric cars as the savior […]

(Natural News) Recycling is all well and good. But there should be a logical limit as to which waste products should be reused and how they are going to be recycled. For example, turning biosolids into bricks sounds good on paper, but people may not be so eager about building their homes out of solidified sewage. “Biosolids” is the euphemistic term for the leftover sewage […]
